to my name's kevin though in here in moscow tonight it's eleven pm on the top stories for you moscow's hit out of washington over its comments about last week's blast in damascus which killed president assad's foreign minister sergei lavrov says the u.s. practically justified terrorism. from off reports. but essentially a war of words but a sort of hypocritical stance to some degree when we saw many members of the u.s. administration speaking out almost immediately after various so-called massacres that had taken place on the ground in syria when this latest blast took place killing many high profile members of president bashar al assad's government as they attended a security meeting their reaction from the u.s. state department was quite different they have actively had said that these attacks were not surprising given the conduct of the present charlotte government one spokesman even said those who died were key architects of the regime's us all. on
3:02 pm
the syrian people it's a very different sort of her sponsor we've seen two different kinds of explosions and attacks in syria these statements caught the attention of russian foreign minister sergey lavrov here is how he responded to the ongoing battle of words. and you can you know what we don't understand why our western partners refused to condemn the terrorist attack in damascus moreover susan royce used to this incident to prove that the u.n. security council could no longer hesitate over the resolution on chapter seven so basically she is saying because we would support such terrorist attacks until the security council does force we won't it's a horrible approach i can't even find words to express how we feel about this this is simply the justification of terrorism. now just remember the chapter seven resolution that he was referring to in the u.n. would have allowed the u.n. security council to take a wide range of actions ranging from diplomatic and economic sanctions against syria to possible military action this was
3:03 pm
a resolution that was with the help of china and russia last week. scores of people displaced but for some refugees it's not the first time i've been forced to flee many iraqis who escaped the violence in their homeland took shelter in syria but now they're having to return home saying the new war left the middle choice a correspondent the damascus examine a boy some of them. they fled their home countries in search of peace only to be ambushed by war in the place they thought was safe syria has long been counted among the most welcoming countries in the region for refugees with almost one hundred thousand of them registered here permanently it was before that while and broke out in syria the residents of the nap neighborhood were all well familiar with the ugly realities of war or the past decade this area has become a home for thousands of war refugees from somalia afghanistan pakistan but the largest community here iraqis who sought to escape the us waged war in that country
3:04 pm
and now have to flee yet again at this bus station iraqi destinations have never been in such high demand as now after several dozen residents of this area were shot or beheaded in the past few weeks many are scrambling to leave the mohammed we're right here with the family in two thousand and three is also packing i've never come across such securities in syria and such a government is in syria it's a good state a good nation but the rebels come here with weapons to destroy our homes and we have no idea why the residents accuse the rebels of terrorizing their community extorting money or kidnapping for ransom while their regions of the gangs are unknown many here believe it's a fighting alongside the free syrian army. the usa is not an independent nation because its government does not hear what its people

are saying because whichever country to invades it destroys america invaded iraq libya egypt and yemen and has not brought peace to any of them now after nine years iraq still can't produce enough electricity for a whole day only for an hour or two. they say it is enough is one of the most important share shrines as it is believed to hold the relics of prophet muhammad's granddaughter. just a year ago it was inundated with bill grams but after several worshipers lost their lives in a suicide bombing it is now closed some believe the attacks against iraqis in syria may also be driven by sick terror and division most iraqis a shia mosque travels a sunni a year's base shia group has just published a statement calling on the united nations to intervene according to our sources in . thousands of shia muslims are in danger of massacred by the free syrian army and groups affiliated with them she rights watch has learned from many shia muslims
3:06 pm
living in the area that the free syrian army has threatened to massacre all the shia in the area unless they flee yet not everybody is scary the way. a sunni syrian and an m a share iraqi have been neighbors and friends for seven years ever since the killing of animals has been forced here to leave iraq they say we want freedom what freedom do you want in syria mosques they have girls with their heads covered and girls with their heads uncovered we have christians sunni's in shiite and they say they want freedom but is this the way to treat your country when you want freedom but iraqis know better than anyone else how relentless and how damaging the foreign quest for freedom would be some avoid r.t. reporting from damascus in syria syria's opposition says thousands of government troops are being moved to the country's commercial hub of aleppo the city has been plagued by fierce street battles for almost a week since the rebels moved in from the outskirts now to mosul cut short by phone
3:07 pm
with a reporter who is currently in the city. from the many people. in the c.p. by the politicians members of. syrian free army and as you know b.p. there are some pressure being the city in some parts of the far east and with side of the city syrian military force are these papers there are just some of them by. helicopter we can't take the truth sensors of those of the military for we shan't see the mosul organizations the volunteers that are trying to help those people from government in the trying to help by opening the school they are trying to help these things a chance to work and to give them what they need their is a really knowledge to see changes but not the people will be changed by gun
3:08 pm
or change by force you know they will just because when we pull of bad example in other cities like dance like um our. other fifty's. i think the big we ring it for people in syria is seeing the change in. peace in a political way by counterforce of the focus of the conflict shifted to aleppo of the army flush to what it describes as militants from key districts in the capital damascus but the u.s. has shaken off the setback hailing the rebels' actions and pledging additional support to russ baker from the investigative website who was why don't call me told me the mainstream media are seeing june with washington's anti side stands. a decision had been taken and that it was necessary to intervene or invade or whatever you want to call it and then all the news is fit to match and so what we
3:09 pm
see is a whole series of documented unsupported allegations and in the case of syria as in the case of libya these are allegations of mass rape. and of massacres without carefully trying to establish who exactly did wired who saw what and so forth what we do is we start finding that it goes it's trans pre-suppose back to several individuals who seem to be syrian emigres living very interestingly in saudi arabia others in the united states appear to be connected to exactly the people who want to displace the saudi. we're keeping a close eye on the developments in syria more analysis on the timeline of the conflict develop on a website any time you want to check it out refresh yourself starting dot com a close reporting from the heart of the syrian war to of course to see notes on it she's in damascus on avoid bringing you the latest updates as well via twitter at one of the most recent post says people in the capital of cleaning streets of dust
3:10 pm
and rubble left over after last week's revel assault on the city she goes on to say that infrastructure damage across syria is now estimated at around eleven billion dollars. change the subject now america's pristine track record of drone strikes in pakistan this year has become a source of pride one hundred fifty militants dead and no civilian losses but experts say those figures from the new america foundation just don't stand up the white house to creese anybody killed by drones as guilty until proven otherwise with more of the numbers has a washington correspondent guy in a chair can. if you believe this chart as seen on c.n.n. american drone strikes in pakistan have been so precise that they haven't killed a single innocent person this year the chart shows last year the strikes targeted
3:11 pm
four hundred thirty one militants and killed only twenty six quote unquote others meaning civilians the data was compiled by the new america foundation now how did this foundation come up with the numbers which look pretty much like advertising for drones they link press reports when you actually look at the reports reports almost half of them are attributed to some unnamed intelligence officials who give the number of who they refer to as militants and a few more details for example the a.f.p. agency report about a strike in north waziristan earlier this month says quote it was difficult to identify the bodies immediately as some of them were charred end of quote but this survey which was broadcast on c.n.n. doesn't have to go deep into details as to who was identified as who nor does it have to clarify the definition of the word militant in this context as seen by the obama administration and according to the obama administration all military age males in a strike zone count as combatants unless there is explicit intelligence possed
3:12 pm
humourously proving them innocent so someone has to prove their innocence after they're dead president obama lawyer by background personally approves the kill list now how does the administration get away with this take no prisoners policy double speak is one of the ways illegally executing people is fine as long as you call them militants as pointed out by the london based investigative journalism it's very hard to reveal exact numbers they put the total of civilian civilians killed in drone strikes in pakistan at around eight hundred where is if you believe the new america foundation chart it's half effect analysts say the reports by pakistani officials are not always reliable because of their dubious position on the one hand they test with glee allow the drone strikes on. the other hand they condemn them the public publicly condemn them arguably to resonate more with the sentiments of the population impact pakistan that is furious with u.s. actions population that sees
3:13 pm
a different chart not the success of graphics cast on c.n.n. and the question they ask is how much killing will be enough in washington i'm going to check on coming up on this channel look at why europe's motor industry is hitting the skids these days card sales are probably across the e.u. leaving top manufacturers no choice but to put the brakes on the production lines reporting on not just a tad later also. your across this is the very top was moody's slopes the negative outlook on the e.u. bailout fund itself both the war and business are on twenty. grim story here though investigators say hundreds of fetuses found dumped in a wood in russia were over five months old and may have been used for illegal research sean thomas reports. what we know right now is two hundred forty eight human fetuses were discovered in a remote region in the year olds in a forest there officials say that the remains are
3:14 pm
a bio medical waste police say that there were four plastic barrels contained remains that were preserved in formaldehyde and some of those remains had tags on them with surnames and numbers also some of the real lives of these containers were off and some of the remains were scattered across the forest floor and they were discovered by a local fisherman who was in the woods looking for some firewood for his campfire sell some containers that he thought he could use for water wanted to bring them home and then he couldn't now the investigation is focused in two parts first of all why and how the by a medical waste could have found its place in this part of the forest could it be negligence on behalf of the company that is charged with disposing of this by a medical waste of the second half of the investigation focuses on the use of the fetuses in the first place now this could be from research from the hospitals in the three major cities in the area surrounding this wooded area this research was
3:15 pm
headed up by a woman who was fired in two thousand and eleven it is believed that during that time she took some of the medical waste with her when she left and police say that this waste might be part of some of those remains that she brought with her also police say that the regarding the secrecy around this type of research that it could very possibly well be illegal but that is not unknown at this time hospitals in a one hundred kilometer radius of the area where these remains were found have been given a request to account for how they have used embryos in the past one thing that we do know is that all of the fetuses that were found in this series of containers in the woods were past the twenty two week mark which is where women in russia are allowed to legally have an abortion they can only have an abortion for medical reasons so that is one thing that is under consideration in this investigation and right now so police have their hands full trying to figure out exactly how these remains that got to this wooded area in the first place and whether the research that caused these remains to need to be disposed of was legal or illegal. sean
